Craig M.:
when i was researching my scm19's, one of the only reviews i could find was an old whf one where they reviewed a cd31 + i30 + scm19. i think it was a best buy system review. if you like the atc sound, then it might be worth a demo. i haven't heard the scm11 so can't comment on the amount of improvement but there will be lower bass due to the cabinet/driver size and the scm19 uses a totally different mid/bass driver. i recently had some dali mentor 2's on home dem, and while good speakers with an entertaining sound, when playing something well recorded the scm19's pulled well ahead making the mentor sound a little vague and muddy.
glad you're loving the i30, i was really impressed with the improvement over the kandy. i know from your previous thread that you would like the matching cdp, but if you get chance you should check out the roksan caspian cdp, i thought it went really well with the i30. the bass was so solid i felt i could touch it!
thanks for your help craig, but iv got my heart set on the cd31 to match the amp. im looking at connecting them up with the balanced inputs to get the best out of them .
